His work- \"the immortality and eternal life\" of His children (Moses 1:39) - is thus a slow work, a gracious work, a work that gives us time and space to sit with our suffering, to lament our losses, to heal our hearts and minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Slow Work of God\u003c\/i\u003e, Rachel Cope shows us what the conversion process looks like through a careful study of the Doctrine and Covenants and the spiritual journeys of courageous women and men featured in and around it - people like Lucy Mack Smith, Joseph Smith, Elizabeth Stewart, Nancy Lampson Holbrook, E. G. Jones, and Ruda Martins. This exploration helps us understand what each of these individuals felt as they encountered death, loss, failure, abuse, disappointment, injustice, war, and a pandemic. It highlights their hope in the face of despair, their transformation from brokenness to wholeness, and their redemption and conversion in the context of painful loss. In studying the lives and faith of these real people, we can learn how to make meaning out of devastation and discover that loss and suffering carve out a place for conversion and healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect with Latter-day Saints from generations past to consider what the Doctrine and Covenants can offer us today on our path to restore our relationships with ourselves, others, and the divine - our path to becoming wholly converted to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DESERET","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52608262897930,"sku":"14891","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ldsbook.co.uk\/products\/the-slow-work-of-god","provider":"Latter Day Bookstore \u0026 More (UK) ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
